The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Although Chen Subaru himself cannot practice magic, he has a deep understanding of the theoretical knowledge of magic. In the magic system, whether they are from the Dajin Human Race or the Saint Race, monks must first establish contact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before practicing magic. Then, according to the affinity of each spirit body to the aura, the basic five elements techniques are gradually practiced.

Basic Five Elements Techniques are compulsory techniques for monks. Even sword cultivators will mostly learn these techniques to understand and operate spiritual power before embarking on the path of swordsmanship. Even those attributes that conflict with the attributes of one's own spiritual body require continuous practice to achieve an understanding of the surrounding aura environment.

With the mastery of the basic Five Elements Techniques, the monks then began to practice advanced Five Elements Techniques. At this stage, magic begins to involve the practice of various magic techniques involving the mutual generation, mutual restraint and fusion of the five elements. Spiritual masters, talisman masters, and array masters must be proficient in all five elements advanced spells, while weapon masters will selectively practice them. As for sword cultivators, they don't know how to practice these techniques at all.

After the fusion of the five elements, various specialized spells came into being, such as ice, thunder, wind, meteorite, magma and other spells, which began to be widely used in fighting. Scholars among the monks also gradually cracked the mystery of the law through these specialized techniques.

The entire process of monk cultivation is a long and step-by-step process.

But Chen Subaru discovered that Xue'er, the sword spirit, seemed to have skipped this process. Perhaps because of the Tiangang Qi, Xue'er doesn't need to learn basic or advanced Five Elements techniques at all. She was able to master any technique Chen Subaru taught her and became self-taught. Whether it was a field or a sword formation, she seemed to have no obstacles in learning. This made Chen Subaru surprised by Xue'er's potential, and at the same time he had new thoughts on the path of sword spirit cultivation.

Xue'er seemed to have an insight into Chen Subaru's thoughts. She smiled mischievously: "Xue'er is naturally unique. Lord Xiao Ling's Liang Yi Tianbing Sword can allow its master to easily defeat the god-transforming monks with the body of a Nascent Soul. Xue'er will quickly understand the magic."

Chen Subaru shook his head slightly and responded with a smile: "Xue'er, you are quite good at using my sea of ​​energy to perform spells."

Xue'er pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "Master, Xue'er is the most loyal sword spirit, always by your side, fighting side by side. Occasionally using some of the master's spiritual energy is helpless. From now on, Xue'er will try to do as little as possible. in use."

After hearing this, Chen Subaru couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Xue'er, you have saved enough, I was just joking with you."

Xue'er showed an innocent smile and said with satisfaction: "I know that the master loves Xue'er the most."

They talked and laughed while continuing to clean up the rubble. Even after searching every corner of the former house, no underground entrance was found.

Xueer asked in confusion: "Master, isn't the entrance here, but somewhere else?"

Chen Subaru replied: "This is not impossible, but the spiritual energy level of underground passages is usually different from that of the surrounding soil. However, except for the secret code that can be sensed through the special method of the ghost temple, the spiritual energy level of other places is not abnormal. "

Xueer also used her spiritual consciousness to explore deep underground. As Chen Subaru said, there was nothing unusual underground. No matter where the spiritual consciousness probes, all that can be perceived is the partially mixed but overall uniform distribution of spiritual energy in the land.

Although there seemed to be nothing unusual beneath the ruins, Xue'er was keenly aware of something strange. She couldn't help but pointed out doubtfully: "Master, the underground seems too peaceful."

After hearing this, Chen Subaru suddenly realized that he was too focused on the changes in spiritual energy, but ignored an obvious fact. This was not a dead land. There were many living creatures alive on the ground. How could there be no life underground, not even a trace of a mouse? Can't find it?

Therefore, Chen Subaru immediately used Sword Escape to fly into the air and summon the Liang Yi Tianbing Sword. Now Bing'er is in a deep sleep, and Xue'er in white skirt is still in human form, so only the black sword appears in his hand.

Chen Subaru was slightly surprised, but when he saw Xue'er snickering secretly, he had no choice but to inject Lingxu Sword Intent into the sword and thrust out a strong sword energy towards the ground. This sword energy condenses Chen Subaru's spiritual sword intention, and its power is comparable to the full blow of a monk in the realm of gods. The sword energy was concentrated a little, and a deep hole about ten feet wide was instantly stabbed into the ground.

The reason why he did not use the sword of life and death was because once the sword of life and death was injected into this black sword, the law of life and death of the death sword would be activated. On the one hand, it might interfere with Bing'er's recovery, and on the other hand, he did not want to cause too much damage to the underground. Big damage.

The moment Chen Subaru drew his sword, Xue'er had already received his message through telepathy: "Scatter and retreat immediately, and regroup at the inn in a quarter of an hour."

Xue'er immediately understood Chen Subaru's plan, transformed into a sword spirit, possessed the white sword, and quickly evacuated. Chen Subaru followed closely behind, holding a black sword and using Sword Escape to gallop backwards.

Not long after Chen Subaru and Xue'er left, a sound like crystal breaking came from the underground cave, followed by a strong red light rising into the sky.

Rolling calamity clouds also quickly gathered in the sky. Although Chen Subaru had retreated dozens of miles away, he could still feel the oppression of Tianwei. However, he noticed that the calamity did not seem to be targeting him, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He used telepathy to get in touch with Xue'er and asked with concern: "Do you feel something is watching you?"

Xueer calmly replied: "No, Master."

After receiving Xue'er's affirmative answer, Chen Subaru did not act rashly, nor did he release his spiritual consciousness for reconnaissance. He witnessed thunder rolling in the direction of Shuangxi Town, and the golden thunder kept shining, violently hitting the ground.

At this time, Xue'er had transformed into a girl in a white dress. She sent a telepathic message to Chen Subaru: "Master, according to the scale of the thunder, this disaster may not end easily. Do you need me to go to your location?"

Chen Subaru responded hastily: "Don't act rashly, just wait where you are."

His caution comes from his uncertainty about the scope of the catastrophe. Currently, he and Xue'er have not been targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation, but once they stray into the scope of the Heavenly Tribulation and are struck by lightning, the consequences may be unbearable for him. In addition, he is also worried about exposing the secret of Tiangang Qi, thus incurring the endless pursuit of Tiandao, just like his true body.

Half an hour later, the thunder seemed to have stopped bombarding the ground, and Chen Subaru could no longer feel the presence of Tianwei. Then he sent a message to Xue'er: "Let's go!"

Soon, Chen Subaru and Xue'er returned to their previous inn. The refugees in Shuangxi Town had long been frightened by the rolling thunder and fled, and now no living creatures could be found in the town. He did not check the Taoist temple again. It must have been destroyed beyond recognition by the thunder.

Since he had already seen the wing room before, there was no mechanism hidden there at all, so Chen Subaru went straight to the inn proprietress’s room. After some searching, he found the mechanism under a monster skull. It was a seemingly ordinary eighteen-sided wooden dice. .

Chen Subaru didn't recognize the runes on the dice, but he guessed they might represent numbers. So he tried to use ordinary force to turn the mechanism, but found that he could not succeed. At the same time, he was worried that using brute force might damage the dice.

Therefore, Chen Subaru changed his strategy and tried to inject a spiritual sword spirit that contained the laws of yin and yang. After the sword intent was injected into it, Chen Subaru understood the mystery of the dice.

Chen Subaru frowned slightly, as if he was thinking deeply. Beside him, Xue'er gently reminded: "Master, have you discovered anything?"

Chen Subaru withdrew the sword intent injected into the dice, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I tried to inject the sword intent with the law of yin and yang into the dice, but unexpectedly a chessboard was created. This reminded me of my childhood memories. It should be the Liubo chess game that was more popular among the Jin Dynasty gentry. Its chessboard has nine characters: Fang, Lian, Jie, Dao, Zhang, Qu, Yi, Chang, and Gao. However, I thought it was too complicated when I was young. I haven't studied it before, so I don't know its divination meaning. What's worse is that this chess game is divided into twelve ways, and I don't know anything about its positioning. If I activate it blindly, it may lead to unpredictable consequences. "Xue'er, have you discovered anything new?"

Xue'er shook her head gently: "Master, do we really need to activate this mechanism?"

Chen Subaru sighed helplessly: "I originally thought it would be safer to enter through the main entrance, but now it seems that we still have to go to the Taoist temple to have a look."

Xueer opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Master, are the Taoist temples today still useful in the past?"

Chen Subaru smiled and said: "I originally wanted to test the secrets hidden underground. Judging from Tian Dao's reaction, we can probably guess what is hidden underneath. This should be where the local monk resistance army stores supplies. I have always I’m curious about how the flame crystal blocks the way of heaven. I finally understand it today. I’ll go over and take a look first, and I’ll explain it in detail when I get there.”

After saying that, he immediately flew towards the Taoist temple, followed closely by Xueer.

When they reached the sky above Shuangxi Taoist Temple, Chen Subaru witnessed a huge pothole. The sky thunder had transformed all the ruins and soil within the Taoist temple into spiritual energy and spiritual dust between heaven and earth.

Under the pit, there were all broken flame crystals. The power of the law in them had disappeared, leaving only blood-red crystal fragments scattered on the ground. The red color on these crystal fragments is also gradually fading, and some fragments have become transparent.

Xueer said regretfully: "It's such a pity that so many useful materials have been wasted."

Chen Subaru observed the pothole with great interest. He said: "There must be more crystals hidden underground than this. What we see may be just the tip of the iceberg."

Xue'er looked at Chen Subaru curiously and asked, "Master, how can you be so sure?"

Chen Subaru answered simply and neatly: "Hurry and come down with me. The barrier will be closed again soon."

As Chen Subaru and Xue'er descended rapidly, red light surged around them. It was the power of the law eager to repair the barrier that was destroyed by the thunder.
